About this episode
Brazilian-born actor and playwright Tatiana Hotere joins Petra Bagust for a poignant conversation about navigating the sudden loss of her husband Jason six years ago.
Tatiana shares how debilitating her grief could be at times, a profound way she discovered to navigate those waves of grief, and the complications of grieving in community.
Tatiana's play Skin Hunger was written as a way to process her grief and was performed at Auckland’s Q Theatre this year. She also blogs about grief on her website Crazy Grief.
For more conversation about grief, check out Season 1 of Grey Areas, where Petra speaks with Wendyl Nissen and Te Waka McLeod about the inevitable grief of losing our parents.
